Chapter 45: Anger.

Bella’s pov.

Teeran had said some things I’ll never be able to get out of my head.

One, being the ancient power she felt coming off of Megan when she met her.

She has witch heritage, making her part witch, part wolf.

Even if she had her wolf she still had some powers she could use.

She said Megan has a golden aura, that she’s never seen it before on anyone.

I had brushed it off. Not wanting to get too deep into it. Wanting to keep Megan safe…

Keep her unknown from the dangers lurking in this world.

I’ve always known she’d be special. I just didn’t want to accept it yet. When I did… it would make it more real.

‘Teeran?’ I said down our link, ready to speak with elder Elian about Garret and my rejection ceremony. Needing to get the ball rolling.

‘Yes, alpha?’ She responded instantly, making a small smile take over my face.

Feeling she is the right person for this. Glad she is a part of my pack now.

‘Please come to my suite, I need to go work, can you be here as soon as possible?’ I asked, waiting for her response.

‘Of course, I’ll be there in a couple of minutes!’ She said before our link was cut off.

I sighed before walking towards Megan’s room, the one place she’s been hiding lately.

I peeked inside her door and watched her play with her toys silently.

Her favourite toys these last few days…

Her back wolf and her white wolf stuffies….

I think John had given them to her.

“Megan?” I said softly, pushing her door open more so I could step inside, “Teeran will be here soon. I have to go to work, but I’ll be home before you know it, okay?”

I walked up to her, her back still turned towards me.

“Okay,” she mumbled, not even turning around to face me. Making my heart clench slightly.

“Are you okay, Megan?” I asked carefully, not sure how to approach her anymore.

She hasn’t been herself…

“Mhm,” she mumbled again, just a short, quick answer, no emotion behind it. Just an answer so I wouldn’t push her more.

I sighed before turning around and walking out.

Closing her door softly behind me.

Giving her the space she needed right now.

It’s like she’s a ghost of herself…

I pray to the moon goddess that my little girl comes back soon.

I turned my head towards the door as it opened, Teeran coming in fast.

“Woah! Slow down, I don’t expect you to run here let alone IN here!” I said as she stopped and looked my way, smiling as she panted slightly.

“No, I wanted to! I told you I’d always be here quickly. I’m just keeping my promises,” she chuckled, placing her coat and bag down on the counter before taking a seat on the couch, “so… where is she? How is she doing today?”

I shook my head while running a hand down my face, feeling utterly exhausted.

“Not the best. Not very talkative today… that’s for sure,” I muttered, still not able to understand her.

Understand why she’s still feeling so lost.

“That’s okay. I’m sure we’ll find lots to do together and have some fun!” She said while getting up and walking towards Megan’s room.

I chuckled a little before grabbing my bag and going to my office. Letting them be alone together.

Hoping Teeran can bring the light back to my daughter.

‘Come to my office, please,’ I quickly mindlinked Elder Elian as I walked down the hall, not waiting for his reply and shutting down the link.

I opened my office door and walked inside, closing it softly behind me.

I looked around, noticing small things that reminded me of my bond with Garrett…

Rage consumed me before I could stop myself.

Anything and everything that reminded me of him was smashed and broken.

I destroyed it all.

I threw it to the ground while screaming out my anger, letting everything I’ve bottled up for years finally come rushing out.

As I was gasping for air the door swung open, elder Elian walking around broken glass and shards of wood on the floor to get inside.

He looked up at me with widened eyes before he looked back down at the mess I’ve made.

I stared at the ground, my chest rising and falling rapidly as I stared at the destruction I caused.

“I’m… sorry. I don’t know what came over me I just- I just lost it. I want nothing to do with Garrett. I want him gone from my life. Everything he’s done, everything he’s put me through, everything he’s put Megan through! She’s not even my little girl anymore! She’s a ghost of herself! I can’t even understand how to help her anymore!” I cried, tears streaming down my face rapidly, my breath coming out short.

“It’s okay… just breathe. You’ll get through this,” elder Elian said carefully, smiling slightly at me as I looked up at him through tear filled eyes.

“I asked you to come here because it’s time to figure out the rejection ceremony. It needs to happen, as soon as possible. I can’t be tied to him anymore,” I said through clenched teeth.

“Yes, I was waiting for this conversation to happen. Very well, let’s do this,” he replied with a sad smile, making me feel even angrier.

“I don’t need you to feel bad or feel pity for me. I just need you to contact the higher elders for me, can you do that?” I asked impatiently, wanting to get this conversation over with. Get the rejection over with…

“Yes. I will contact them right away and ask when the earliest date can be,” he said quietly before walking towards the door, “I will get back to you after I speak with them all about this.”
